Not some YouTuber who may have little or no interest in the subject but found it works as clickbait.

AI slop is so easy to generate that streaming platform Deezer says that AI slop music is now a third of what's uploaded every month.

YouTube is flooded with AI slop videos.

Kindle and other publishing platforms are flooded with AI slop books.

Many of the books not only inaccurate, but offering dangerous advice.

Real writers, artists, and experts deserve attention. Ignorant wannabes churning out AI slop don't.
